Introduction
I'm a Development Manager for a hosting and solutions company (integricity.com) based in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. My work consists of developing and designing web-based applications.

Tartaruga is my Capoeira nickname given to me by Professor Gringo (Bantus Capoeira) when I was studying in Perth.

Personal
My passion has always been for technology and design. I consider myself an expert in the use of PHP, MySQL, Actionscript and applying Web Standards such as XHTML and CSS to my work. I'm also an avid student of Capoeira and train with the Bantus Capoeira Group in Malaysia. Along with 2 other friends, I helped co-found the school here in Malaysia with the permission of our Mestre Pintor, the founder of our group in Brazil.

I'm happily married since 2 July 2005. My wife gave birth to a healthy baby boy on 15 March 2007. I hold a Bachelors of Science degree majoring in I.T. from the Curtin University of Technology in Western Australia. I've lived in Perth, Western Australia for over 6 years and have permanent resident status there. I have 2 younger sisters. I live in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia.

I also enjoy inline skating, reading, playing computer games and photography in my spare time.
